One of Philadelphia’s newest historic attractions is also one of its oldest. Franklin Square, one of the five public squares that William Penn laid out in his original plan for the city, has undergone a dramatic renovation. The park now boasts several all new, family-friendly attractions, including a miniature golf course, a classic carousel, storytelling benches, a picnic area and more. At Philly Mini Golf, an 18-hole miniature golf course decorated with some of Philadelphia’s favorite icons, play a round of putt-putt and learn a little history at the same time. Close your eyes and take a nostalgic ride on the Philadelphia Park Liberty Carousel, a classic tribute to Philadelphia’s great heritage of carousel-making. It’s sure to be a instant kid favorite. Then catch up on your history at one of the storytelling benches located in the park, where you can hear tales of Franklin Square's past, or learn about the many communities touched by the Square, courtesy of the friendly storytellers of Once Upon a Nation. |
